Land of Kings and Papillon have now become the soundtrack of two painful moments in history and my life: the murder of Jo Cox, and the UK voting to leave the EU.

I still feel the disillusion, nostalgia, and disconnection felt during what I remember as a chilly June. Fortunately, they're beautiful songs: I've already listened to them multiple times.

When Simone, Dan and Gerald work together, you know the result is going to be amazing. I'm looking forward to the rest of the album!

Track after track, Minutes to Midnight takes us to a journey that is both personal and part of the shared history that shaped our lives and the current affairs.

Each song is a unique blend of beautifully crafted sounds and samples from crucial historical events, delivered with the help of incredibly talented collaborators
